Goals / Remit
The Nordic Logistics Association (NLA) represents Danish Transport and Logistics (DTL), the Norwegian Road Transport Association (NLF) and the Swedish Association of Road Transport Companies (SÅ) in Bruxelles with support from its associated member SKAL, Finnish Transport and Logistics. NLA was established in 2012 to ensure that the common interests and positions of these Nordic haulier associations are promoted in close dialogue with the EU institutions and transport stakeholders in Brussels.
The various experts within each of the national associations coordinate closely together with the secretariat of NLA to promote the positions of the Nordic hauliers and enter into dialogue with decision makers in Brussels.
Our aim is to constructively forward the views of the members of the founding associations in the relevant EU decision making processes, and thereby contribute to the work of improving the framework conditions for transport operators in the Nordic countries and beyond.Main EU files targeted

Meetings
Meetings
2 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
